One thing i really struggle with is the Coke production.
There is no way to separate the fuel from the furnace from the ingredients.

I'm not sure about these design.
Since it does not actively produce anything it should stay in the background, especially since you have hundreds of them.
But these design pops up and draw all attention to itself which make the scene far to busy looking at it, and takes the focus from the factory's.

Even with your answer i want to give my point of view.
There are multiple problems in my opinion and they are not directly related to the multiple oil outputs, these ist simply and fast solved by locking up some guides, (in game if available or online if not)

These are the points that makes the ...

I like all the changes beside the new basic oil receipt.
Just pick one of the many proposals already made in these thread.
There are many ways that i think would be better than what is described in the FFF.

Will we be able to see the trash slots when opening a chest, so i we can help the bots and dump things manually?

These funktion already exists, but has to be enabled in the options. Default is of.

When i sort out items i don't need in my inventory i often run into the situation when i would like to relieve my bots by moving items from my trash slot into a chest.
But for that i have to move the items from the trash slot to my inventory first, since the Trash slots are hidden when opening a ...

You are using red belts.
The burner inserters can't properly grab from them and can run out of fuel trying to get the coal for them self.
After that they need to be fulled manually.

It was propably an active provider chest instead of a passive one.
So they floated the network.

The images in the FFF have the endings jpg, png but in reality they are webp images.
Is these intended?
The browser is just showing them but other programms have trouble showing them unless they are renamed.
Why not save them as *.webp in the webpage as ther original file type suggests?

Nice changes to the belts and the mod interface. Let's see what can modders do with these in 0.17

Can you anwer why your graphics have the wrong file extension?
The static image is obviusly an webp image, that is called png for some strage reason on the server.

Nice changes to the science packs.

I'am just left with 2 Questions:

1.) Is it intentional that the space sience packs still neet mitytary to unlock?
Because you might want infinite research on bitter free maps but again still have to setup military witch is contrary to the statement in the FFF.

The research queue is needed.
At last we need a Target technology so we can just confirm to continue researching the prerequisites without constantly have to remember the tech we are heading for, and then select the next one.
Especially in the beginning research goes fast, so once a minute you are ...

Well, it would seem that Factorio, up until now, was not that optimized as far as graphics are concerned :
comparing with 2D games with a similar number of units on-screen like Distant Worlds (or even Starcraft 1),
I get much worse FPS in Factorio (with "normal" definition sprites),
but it would ...

Need to clarify that the text boxes are not elevated, they don't look like a button, they are inset and really look like a text box. (look map size as an example)
What it's elevated is what I call editable display (fancy, I know).

In that case the shadow should be reversed. dark on ...

As far as I can remember you get a desync.
Names are saved with the map.

These map is crazy (in a good way).
I could never build something these large and complex by myself.

At last i need a new PC for these. I'am dropping to 12 FPS when loading it.

Probably the button sensor of the mouse is defect. Can you try with another mouse if the problem persists.

I belief the most people wait until the main bugs are fixed during early experimental before they start with more serous playthrough.
So please adjust the map generation now in early experimental than later on.
I really don't want to wait till 0.17 to get these fixes.

I''m not sure how this works in multiplayer, but in singleplayer the amound towards that achievement is from all your maps combined - I'm not sure if this is exactly how it works in multiplayer, but it is possible that if the streamer had 8.8M produced in other maps, that would be 10M.

That's not ...
